Working Groups & Focus Groups
Evolutionary Theory for Social-Ecological Change
KLI Working Group
2020-11-01 12:00 - 2022-12-31 12:00
KLI
Organized by Tim Waring and Maja Schlüter

This working group will explore the value of evolutionary mechanisms for explaining complex social-ecological change, with a focus on developing sustainability theory to address real world problems and improve governance and transformation of social-ecological systems.

The working group will be co-led by two scholars (Waring & Schlüter) from the evolutionary and sustainability fields and will take place via three meetings at the KLI over 1.5 years. The first two meetings will convene a group of 8 researchers (“theory group”) to accomplish the integrative theoretical work. The third meeting will also include an another ~6 researchers who will work to apply the outputs the core group has developed to specific SES research contexts. The application group will be revised during the first meeting and solicited between the first and second meeting.
